Step 2. Create questions and answers

The platform comes with several features which are preset according to the application you’ve chosen. Set up the test that you want to present to your participants and then focus on selecting the advanced options to customize the application to meet your needs.

1. Enter the promotion “Editor”.

2. Go to the Pages> Quiz section and begin creating your first question by clicking on the corresponding button.

3. In each question that you create, the following window will appear to help you through the process. There are various types of questions. With this test, you should use single-answer questions because these will enable you to give each one a score and link it to a specific response.

When you click on the "Create" button you will access the question editor, where you will find the following options:

1. Contents. Here you will find all the options to configure your question:

Question text: Type here the question you want to ask the users.

Upload Media: Decide if you want to complete it with image or video.

Design: If you upload a support image for the question, decide if you want a horizontal or vertical design.

Feedback message text: It allows users to be informed of the correct answer by presenting an informative text that will appear to the user after answering each question. You can customize a feedback message text for the correct answer and a feedback message text for the wrong answers.

2. Answers: Click the "New Answer" button to create as many answers as you have planned for the question:

Tip! We recommend for all questions to have the same number of responses. This will make it easier for you to link each question to a final message type.

3. Options:

If you have created a "Single answer" question, the participant will only be able to select one answer option:

This is how the question will look like:

4. Create the rest of the questions and answers. You can create the other test questions by using the copy tool and the “New Question” button. If you use the “Copy” button you’ll be able to maintain the question and answer format.

Step 3. Create the customized final messages

One of the features of the multiple-choice test is that it allows to set up personalized final messages based on the answer preferences or the majority of answers of the users, through the Majority of Answers system.

This option is ideal for creating personality tests of the type: if the majority of answers are ‘type 1’ then the user fits profile X; if the majority of the answers are ‘type 2’, then the user's profile fits Y. In this way, we can show the user a different final message depending on their answers in the test.

To create different final messages according to the user's answers, you must follow the following steps:

1. Create the final messages. We recommend that you start by designing the final messages that you want to display on the final page. Each final message is assigned a value: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., to define each profile.

2. Punctuate the answers of the test. Once you have defined the possible final messages, you must rate the answers of the different questions. This way, you must assign a value to each answer according to the profile type 1, 2, 3 or 4, etc., in order to link each response to a specific final message.

You can set up the viral content of each result message in case you wish the participant to be able to share the test result message with his/her friends. We explain how to do this here.

Step 4. Enable the Summary page

The Questionnaire Summary page will allow you to show users a new page with the details of their answers before registering their participation. This screen will be presented after answering the last question of the questionnaire, just before accessing the registration form, and will show the summary of the user's answers to each of the questions. You will also have the possibility to allow users to repeat the questionnaire before accessing the registration form.

Step 5. Customize the texts and images of each page

Change the provisional title for one which clearly identifies the strengths of your promotion.

Configure the page texts and upload an image to give the page more dynamism.

In the description, we suggest you explain the contest mechanism so that participants understand the steps they must follow to participate. In Premium and White Label versions, you can also customize the “Participate” and “See Participants” buttons.

B) Entry Form.

Adapt the Registration Form to fit your tastes and needs using the predefined fields and checkboxes. You can also customize the text and header image of the page. See how to set up the Registration Form.

C) Thank You.

Customize it with a final image and thank you text. You can also create an extra button with an external link.

Use the final image to encourage users to share the promotion.

Thank You Message. Use this to thank users for participating and remind them that they could win a prize.

Additionally, in promotions created with the Premium design template you have the following additional functionalities to customize the pages of the promotion:

Customize the name of each section and the icon that identifies it within the promotion menu. For example, you can change the default name of "Welcome" page to "Start".

Add new sections in the promotion menu to present additional content. This new section can be set up in two different ways:

New page, for example, to present and explain the prizes of the promotion.

You can also customize the promotion footer texts, or deactivate the footer if you prefer.

To enable the Footer of the promotion go to Editor > General > Footer:

Step 9. Customize the viral content

This section is very important for obtaining good virality for your quiz. The viral content is the message that is displayed when the participant shares the promotion with friends, inviting them to take part. You can customize the share message to suit the channel through which participants wish to disseminate the promotion.

To customize the viral content of the promotion go to Editor > General > Share:

You should complete the following sections:

A) Generic.

Set up the generic contents of the promotion here:

Viral image: This is the image that will accompany the text to be shared. To make it optimal for the social networks, we suggest a measurement of 1200px wide by 630px high. This same image will be shared via Facebook, Pinterest and Google+. If you don’t upload a specific image for this section, the main promotion image will be disseminated when a participant shares the promotion.

Generic content: This is the viral text that will be disseminated across the social networks when the participant shares the promotion via the share button on the main page, the registration form or the header of the participations gallery. Learn how to configure this.

B) Recruitment.

Keep in mind that this is the text that participants will share with their friends: make the most of it to encourage them to take part in the promotion too. Learn how to set it up here.

Step 10. Advanced settings

Enable Facebook Login: Enable the login with Facebook window so that the user can participate identifying with his Facebook user.

Anonymous registration: Disable the form in case you prefer not to ask for personal data of the participants and to make a more agile quiz. More information.

Anti-fraud options: With the aim of helping administrators organize top-quality contests, the platform contains a series of techniques and tools to help minimize the impact of participants bad practices. Consult the adjustable options.

Step 11. Restrictions to access the promotion

The application allows you to restrict the access to the promotion to limit users who can participate in it. Specifically, the platform offers you 2 forms of restriction:

Note: The functionality to restrict the promotion by age is only available for promotions created with the Premium version and the White Label version that have been designed with the Premium design template.

Step 12. Communicate with participants via the Emails Platform

If you need to communicate with participants during and after the promotion, you can use this section to create, customize and send emails.

In a multiple-choice test this tool can be useful because it enables you to configure automatic emails to send to participants with one of the following objectives:

Find out how to create an email with the Platform to communicate with participants and achieve greater virality.

Important! The Platform also has a "smart tags" feature which makes it possible to configure customized emails. Use the "smart tag" {{user_recruiting_url}}. This will be replaced by the recruiting URL of each participant when the email is sent.

Step 13. Preview your promotion

Once you have configured all aspects of the promotion, you can activate it from the management page of the promotion, where you can make the payment. Here you will find more information.

Step 15. Publish the promotion

Although your promotion is now active, you still need to publish it. When you create the test, a URL is generated: this is the main promotion link. By default, this main link leads to a microsite where the promotion is displayed. In addition, you can publish the test to a Facebook Page or embed it into your blog or website. Manage where you want to publish it from the ‘Promotion Link’. You can find more information about this step here.

Step 16. Share the promotion

It’s also important to share the test across a variety of channels. Always use the main promotion link as it’s the only one that’s compatible with any type of device.You can share the promotion via the following methods:

Step 19. Random sweepstakes to finalize the promotion and publish the winners

There are many methods of finalizing the promotion, but the most typical one is to carry out a sweepstakes between all the participants, or between finalists only, and give the prize/s to the winner/s of the sweepstakes.
